And this is part of a course in traditional medicine of Mexico and the Southwest or Curanderismo,The Art of Traditional Medicine. And with us today, we have a healer from Arizona, from Phoenix Arizona who has a clinic there, and her specialty, she has many specialties, but one of her specialty is working with energy. And she is going to tell us and demonstrate the ancient ritual and healing property of the tonalli. And she is going to explain what the tonalli is and how that can clear energy, Patricia Frederico is with us. Patricia, thank you so much. >> Gracias! >> We appreciate you being here. >> It's an honor to be here, thank you so much. >> You bet, and thank you for touching so many lives and healing so many people, for coming from Arizona to be with us. And we have Shannon that's going to get a wonderful treatment, and her energy is going to be much better after this is over Shannon, I'll leave you. >> [FOREIGN] My name is Patricia Federico, and I'm a, [FOREIGN] from Phoenix Arizona. I've been practicing for 21 years, and so today, I'm going to be doing an energy cleansing of the body, and it is called the ancient healing method of tonalli. Now tonalli has many different meanings, and different cultures, and it's pronounced different ways. But if we really think about it, we all come from one source. We come from one source, and so we focus on the one source. And so before we begin our treatment on Shannon, I'm going to be using an aromatherapy mist to cleanse the energy before I work on Shannon. So there's many different ways that you can cleanse the energy, you can use copal, you can use sage, cypress, water, flowers, many different ways to cleanse the energy. But there's times when you can't be burning things inside of a building. So the best thing use would be Aromatherapy Mist. And this particular one that I'm using today is, and it's one that I created in 1994 from a vision that I received when I was in Mexico city. So I'm going to go ahead and spray the cleansing energy and spray the mist. And we going to start by opening up what I call the power portal. And the power portal is located right by the pads of the feet by each foot near the toes. And so the power portal, you want to go small little circular doing little circles five times to open up the power portal. Clockwise, and then you're going to go counterclockwise. And then what we're going to do is we're going to tap the power portal to initiate the opening three times. And Shannon, I'm going to have you take a nice deep breath. And another one, please? And your third one, breathe in and breathe out. We want to tap a few more times just to initiate, after we've done those three times. Place your hands on the ankles, and slightly move the body to let the body know that the energy is going to be moving through. The next step you want to take is to hold on to the calf of the person on each side. So you want to use your thumb and your pointing finger which is also called the power finger. So you want to put your power finger, and your thumb, and begin to move the leg so you get the energy going. How does that feel, Shannon? >> Good. >> Could I have you take a nice deep breath please? Make sure that you have your client breathe. And the practitioner should be have be on a stance, and make sure that you're not bending over this way or have yourself contorted. You should be in a stance so that you have a good grip of the energy you can begin to feel it. And there's a little bit right here, Shannon that I feel that needs to be opened up, and it's on your right side. So the right side represents the masculine, the left represents female. So we're going to just do a little more in this area than I normally would with your permission. Okay, And breathe, Sometimes if you don't want to keep telling your client to breathe you may want to set an example by breathing yourself. And it feels to have opened up a little bit. Do you feel that, Shannon? >> Yes. >> Okay, so we're going to work our way up, and we want to work all the way up to the knee. But you don't want to go into the groove of the knee. And then you're going to grab the ankle, and then go up the center of the meridians of energy three times. And then support right above the knee, and then slightly move the leg back and forth. And breath, [SOUND] slightly move the hip. How's that feel Shannon? >> Very good. >> Good, and we're going to place you're going to take your thumb, and you're pointing finger again your power finger. And you're going to place it right in the sacrum on each side, the left and the right, and slightly move back and forth. Good, so this loosens up the energy. Sometimes when we're too connected to material things, when we're real concerned about finances, we begin to get some pains in this lower area. Plus it's also connected more to the energy. It's coming in from the Earth, which is physical the. How's that, Shannon? >> Very good. >> Good. And then you're going to take your hand and place it near right above the iliac crest on one side, and then on the other side, and do a slight rocking, and breathe. [SOUND] I just felt the energy move into your hips, loosen that up a little bit. Did you feel that? >> Mm-hm. >> We continue to move all the way up, all the way up to the shoulders. You want to massage the shoulders a little bit, and so you would be doing this on both sides, the right and the left side of the body. Okay, Shannon, I'm going to have you turn face up now. please. Good, and so you're going to go back to the feet. And you're going to put some pressure again, and what's called the power portal, or the power point at the pads of the feet and breathe. [SOUND] And breathe again, And third time, good. You'll begin to feel the energy traveling through your fingers. Do you feel the energy, Shannon? Good. Okay, so now we're going to go to the top of the head. Place your hands underneath the head, near the occipital and slightly lift the head and relax, breathe. >> [SOUND] >> Good, and you want to take your fingers and do a gentle massage all around the occipital area. This relaxes the head and releases tension. And breathe. >> [SOUND] >> Good. The next step that we are going to do is we are going to take the middle fingers here, and you're going to place them right in your third eye, the third eye of your client. And you are going to focus on sending energy into the third eye. And it's very important for the practitioner to place your tongue at the roof of your mouth. And so it should be right on the roof of your mouth, and take three deep breaths. I can now begin to feel the energy passing in to Shannon's third eye. So I'm going to run my fingers right straight across into her temples. And do little circular motions to activate the energy in her head that's traveled up. How are you doing, Shannon? >> Good. >> Good. Okay, our next step is I'm going to be bend Shannon's ear over, and where the ear creases is where you're going to place your finger. And you're going to do that on both sides where the ear creases you place your finger. So that's like the your marker of where her particular line of energy is on her head, and you bring it up to the top of the head, and you just send your energy. As she focuses on her energy, Shannon, I'd like you to focus on the energy coming in through like a white energy beam coming in through the top of your head. And you do little motions, circular clockwise motions right on the top of the head. And that begins to open up the energy. I feel more movement, it's not as congested and restricted. And then you go back once we've done that we go back to the occipital. We slightly lift the head, once again, and see the movement. Feel if it's looser which it is, much looser than than it was before. I can feel the tonalli, the energy travelling which we opened up at the power portal of her feet, traveled up her head. And now it's loosened it up, it's much, much better. How do you feel, Shannon, better? >> Yes. >> Very good. So you want to end your session by just having the client think of a positive thought, maybe an affirmation that you might want to say for yourself, okay? And we're going to end with the mist. You're going to do three times. For mind, Body, And spirit. So now you've completed your energetic session of ancient healing art of finale, gracias >> Patricia, what a wonderful sample of a simple way to work on yourself, and your loved ones to clear the energy. >> Yes, yes it is. >> It's wonderful, thank you for an excellent demonstration. And let ask Shannon, how do you feel? >> Fantastic, very relaxed. >> Do you? Can you feel different? >> I do. >> Wonderful, wonderful. >> Yes, perfect, thank you. >> Thanks to Patricia. >> You're very welcome. >> Thank you, yes, thank you. >> Well, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Again, thank you so much and I hope you come back soon. >> Gracias, ciao. >> Adios, comadre. >> Adios, [FOREIGN] Thank you so much.
